Anonymous, 08 Apr 2010does any one know how to use gps? do i need extra app for that?GPS on the HD2 is hardware. You don’t need an app/program for it to work (because it is internal not an external add-on device); programs use it for them to work not the other way around.
Think of it as you would think of the volume key on your phone... it does not need an app for it to work. Apps use it to adjust their volume.
The phone came with Google maps, footprints, digital compass & Copilot. All of them use the GPS
You just have to go in each program menus and learn how to use them.
Any other program you install that need the use of GPS, will use the phones internal GPS (no setting up is needed,) the most you will have to do some times is to turn on GPS from the installed program menu.

justy, 08 Apr 2010i have bought an iphone 3gs just a month ago n now iam thinking of going for HD2..should i go ... moreIt all depends on what you want from a phone, HD2 is very customizable with a bigger screen & works very well with your PC if your using windows OS.
I personally love the phone even more then when i first got it as i've customized mine to a 10 times better phone then when i first got it. :o)

i m an aspirant of HTC HD2...i checked it out and it seems to be pretty cool..however i have two main concerns.
1) since HD2 is win6.5 is it upgradable to win 7.0 or in 6 months it will become absolute.
2) is data plan mandatory for its functionality in other words what if i loose my 3g single but i have wifi. Will my HD2 works absolutely fine on wifi if i dont have data plan.
Detailed answer for #2 will be appreciated...Thanks

sam, 08 Apr 2010hai antony, thanks and one more question is this windows 6.5 can upgrade to windows 7(in near ... more7 is not an upgrade from 6.5
6.5.3 is the upgrade for 6.5
7 is a new OS all together.
and it is still too early to say what existing phones, if any will get it.
7 is not going to come out before December 2010 and by then it should have the much anticipated HD3. so most would want that for 7 and not the then very old HD2.

G1 is linux because the G1 is using Android OS (version of linux)
HD2 is not Linux it is using the Windows Mobile OS (version of windows)
All they have in common is HTC made them both and both can run Sense UI that was made by HTC.

I am getting "fetching" message from some menus on my Facebook application on the HD2... (photos on the Home tab on the preinstalled Facebook application)
I have that "facebook update" from HTC site installed...
What could be the problem?

Anonymous, 07 Apr 2010Its a WM phone? same company made WM and excel, word..it is not windows mobile OS. In a way, it actually uses a very light version of Linux as the OS. If you crack an HTC phone like the G1, you can have a terminal just like a linux based PC.

Hey Anthony,

thank u again for being a help dude :)

phoenix, 07 Apr 2010was thinking of buying my 2nd PDA phone. This phone rocks in terms of features. But then agai... morePhones/technologies do get obsolete. It just depends how fast, or how long you can hold it.

The HD2 is a good bet for at least another 2 years (if you can stay with a phone that long).

was thinking of buying my 2nd PDA phone. This phone rocks in terms of features. But then again was thinking of waiting of the HTC Obssession. Technology nowadays makes our current phones obsolete in months only. Decision decisions....
